Explore Newton, Alabama, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Newton, Alabama. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Alabama or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Newton.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Newton emerges from the humid, red-clay expanse of the Wiregrass region as a quiet gathering of structures defined by the slow, deliberate pulse of inland life. It lies 8.8 miles south-southeast of Ozark, AL (from Ozark, AL: bearing 166°T), and is situated 6.6 miles east-northeast of Daleville. The landscape here is characterized by the persistent presence of longleaf pine and bottomland hardwood, which cast long, intricate shadows across the earth as the afternoon light thickens into a heavy, golden amber. Only one mile away, the Choctawhatchee River carves a dark, meandering path through the terrain, its banks lined with dense vegetation that muffles the sounds of the modern world. Within the immediate boundaries of the locality, Hero'S Memorial Park provides a central point of stillness where the air feels heavy with the scent of damp soil and the subtle, metallic tang of the nearby riverbed.
Newton bears the weight of a history rooted in the agrarian cycles of the South, where the economy has long been tethered to the harvest of peaches and pecans from the surrounding orchards. The rhythms of the day are dictated by the sun and the slow transit of weather patterns across the flat, open fields that define the regional character. While Lake Tholocco lies seven miles distant, the local sense of place is anchored firmly to the land itself, where the quiet endurance of the inhabitants mirrors the patient growth of the pines. Life in Newton maintains a steady, internal cadence, far removed from the pressures of distant urban centers, reflecting a persistent, localized identity that has remained largely unchanged by the haste of the passing decades.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
